Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are “caps” that are placed over decayed or damaged teeth that need protection against decay-causing bacteria. Crafted from porcelain or zirconia, our crowns mimic the shade of natural tooth enamel and require two appointments to complete. They are designed to fit comfortably once bonded in place and work just like normal teeth so that eating and speaking do not prove to be an issue.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings or composite fillings are used to repair cavity-stricken teeth as well as those with small fractures. Blended to match the existing shade of tooth enamel, they produce top-notch aesthetic results while also reducing the potential for tooth sensitivity or breakage, unlike traditional amalgam fillings. Our team will apply the composite resin that is used to the damaged area, sealing it off with a curing light to create a fully restored smile.
Inlays & Onlays
Inlays and onlays are custom restorations that are used to treat decayed teeth that do not qualify for tooth-colored fillings or dental crowns. They are placed within the grooves of teeth (inlays) or extend over the cusps (onlays) and are molded to patients’ teeth. Inlays are generally used to treat larger cavities than those repaired with tooth-colored fillings. An onlay covers only one or more cusps of a tooth as opposed to a dental crown that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive treatment plan that dentists use to restore the aesthetics and health of a person and their smile. Dr. Estella will use the best dental technology to formulate an accurate diagnosis and proposed plan that incorporates restorative, cosmetic, and other complex treatment options. Full mouth reconstruction is a more extensive solution that is recommended for patients with widespread dental decay and damage.
